Adult-only care
Does Bidwell Health Treat Children?
No. Bidwell Health provides online visits for adults 18 and older only.
Short answer: Bidwell Health does not provide pediatric care, visits for minors, or parent-submitted visits for children. Children should be seen by a pediatrician, family clinician, urgent care, or emergency care depending on the symptoms.
- Bidwell Health visits are for adults 18+ only.
- The standard adult online visit is $45.
- No scheduled video visit is required for supported adult visit types.
- A licensed clinician reviews each adult intake before any prescription decision.
- Children, minors, and pediatric symptoms are outside Bidwell Health's online scope.
Why the age limit matters
Pediatric care often uses different dosing, safety checks, exam findings, and follow-up standards than adult care. A symptom that may fit an online adult protocol may need different evaluation in a child.
Can a parent complete the intake for a child?
No. Bidwell Health intake forms are intended for the adult patient receiving care. A parent should not submit a Bidwell Health visit on behalf of a minor.
Where should children go instead?
For non-emergency symptoms, use a pediatrician, family clinician, retail clinic, or urgent care that treats children. For severe symptoms, trouble breathing, dehydration, severe pain, allergic reactions, or emergency concerns, seek emergency care.
